Role Description Pogun is building infrastructure that brings programmability to Bitcoin, an asset base that is large, established, and has so far seen limited use beyond settlement. We are hiring a product owner to help us deliver against that opportunity. You will run the engineering operating system across Pogun: backlog, delivery tracking, dependencies, and the cadences that keep a multi-project team moving in the same direction. You will work day to day with the engineering manager and the engineers, serving as the head of product’s line of sight into how delivery is going. Part of the job is keeping a clear, honest read on what the team is shipping and when, and summarizing it at the level leadership needs without dragging them into ticket-level detail. We want someone who takes initiative. The first version of this role will not be fully defined on day one. You should expect to find gaps in process, tooling, reporting, and coordination, and to close them without being asked. What you’ll own - Backlog and Linear hygiene across Pogun projects: Definition of Ready, epic decomposition, dependencies, labels, and stale-issue cleanup. - Delivery tracking with engineering leads: milestones, target dates, slippage flagged early. - Weekly delivery summaries for the head of product and stakeholders: what shipped, what is shipping next, what is at risk. Outcome-level, not ticket-level. - KPI dashboards that tie user stories to shipped outputs. Build them with AI tooling, then maintain them. - Cross-team coordination: outsourced contributors, business development, and product peers. - Process and tooling: workflow conventions, automated-finding sweeps (RUSTSEC, Renovate), PR-review nudges. - Roadmap and GTM input: actively consult on sequencing and feasibility, flag misalignment between marketing and reality. - Operational glue: software license procurement, team event logistics, day-to-day Slack presence. Qualifications - Five or more years in technical product ownership, delivery management, or technical program management. - Demonstrated ownership of an engineering backlog at scale (Linear, Jira, or similar). - A track record of taking initiative: spotting what is missing, proposing a fix, and shipping it without waiting to be told. - Working understanding of GitHub, pull requests, CI/CD, and testing practices. - Enough technical literacy in our stack (Bitcoin, BitVM, Cardano, cross-chain bridging) to triage without round-tripping every detail to engineering. - Strong written communication. Crisp, summary-level reporting is a core deliverable. - Comfort building lightweight dashboards using modern AI-assisted tooling. - Bonus: prior crypto or Web3 engineering exposure, experience with distributed contributors. Requirements - You will have the authority to reject issues that fail the Definition of Ready and to set priority within agreed initiatives. - We hire owners, not note-takers. - Priority order when the week gets busy: delivery tracking and reporting first, backlog discipline second, dashboards and operational glue after that. - Sprint planning never slips for offsite logistics. Benefits - Fully remote, with reasonable European overlap. - Direct line to the head of product and engineering leadership, with real authority to shape the role. - Meaningful infrastructure work that brings programmability to Bitcoin. - Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience and location.
